I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I first had a 20 minute phone interviewer with the manager who I would be working under.
The hiring manager then asked me to come in the following week for an on-campus interview. I ended up interviewing with 5 different people individually (one of which was the hiring manager). Each individual interview lasted about 30-45 minutes.
